About the film
Black is a 2005 Indian drama film co-written, directed, and co-produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It stars Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in lead roles, with Ayesha Kapur, Shernaz Patel, and Dhritiman Chatterjee in supporting parts. Inspired by the life and writings of American author and activist Helen Keller, the film chronicles the journey of Michelle, a deafblind woman, and her relationship with Debraj, an ageing teacher who later develops Alzheimer's disease. The film, primarily in Hindi, also contains significant English dialogue. The project was officially announced in 2003, though its conception began in the 1990s when Bhansali encountered several disabled children during the making of Khamoshi: The Musical (1996). The screenplay was influenced by Keller's 1903 autobiography, The Story of My Life.
